Very sweet coming of age story abou a young girl planning her Bat Mitzvah - a big deal so I gather, with plenty of cash thrown around, all too believable when you see what's happened with 21st birthdays in Oz. A family affair for Adam Sandler whose daughters play his daughters and whose wife plays the mother of his daughter's BFF while Indina Menzel plays his wife. Sandler's wife is a little awkward though she has some funny scenes with Luiz Guizman who plays her ex husband. The daughters are terrific as is Sandler. The show is stolen by Sarah Sherman as a 'cool" rabbi (although the "cool" DJ was also pretty funny).
I really liked this movie. It was extremely well done there were some terrific bits like the jumping off the ledge scene, a sense of family and the cultural specificity was a delight.
